Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Duahli Psycho Tell.
President Trump is clapping back over Iran's latest financial demands to reopen the straight of our moves.
“As NPR's Franco-ordonia's reports, Trump says he has some demands of his own.”
"It was just a week ago that Trump was boasting that he would soon be announcing an agreement to reopen the straight of our moves. But now both sides are making demands for compensation." Cory Shaki served in the George W. Bush White House. She said Iran is rightly assessed the President's desperation to end the war, and is trying
to hurt the President politically, likening it to the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis that helped take down another former President. "It looks to me like the Iranian regime wants to turn President Trump into Jimmy Carter. It wants to impose the kind of humiliation on President Trump that they imposed on President Carter."
It says they appear to be succeeding, Franco-ordonia's NPR News. First responders and dozens of cities across Columbia are desperately hoping to find people
trapped after a powerful 7.4 earthquake, destroyed or damaged some 1,600 buildings.
“So far more than 130 people were killed by the Quake yesterday.”
From Bogotá reporter Manuel Rueda has the latest about Columbia's third largest city. Cali, you can get 8 quickly because there's a major airport there. Some areas it's going to take more time to get 8. For example, in the Chokor region where the roads are in bad shape and where there's many small towns that don't have an airport or that might even be tough to get to with the helicopters.
So they're going to have to wait for trucks to bring 8. You know, that's the case in San Jose del Palmar, which is the town closest to the epicenter. And it's just located in a very remote area on top of a mountain range with no airport access whatsoever. He said many survivors are sleeping outdoors to avoid further collapses from after
shocks. Only a month ago in neighbouring Venezuela, thousands of people were killed in an earthquake. Democratic voters will choose a nominee for an open U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota today.
“As Minnesota Public Radio's Clay Masters reports, the issue dominating the competitive”
primary is the response to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown there. Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan regularly brings up a vote for her opponent, Congresswoman Angie Craig made in Congress. My primary opponent voted for Donald Trump's immigration bill and was the only Minnesota Democrat to do so.
Craig says she regrets the vote. She focuses on her track record winning the state's most competitive congressional district and her time in Washington. I'm the experienced person in Washington who has a track record already of taking on Donald Trump and getting bills passed.
Minnesota Republicans are also selecting a nominee for the open U.S. Senate seat. This is NPR. In California, tech billionaires are ramping up spending to defeat a wealth tax in the state.
As NPR's Bobby Allen reports, Google co-founder Sergei Bryn has spent more than $100 million
to fight the ballot measure. The Palestinian Authority or PA said the move aims to tighten Israel's illegal control and power on the Palestinian region. Israeli Finance Minister Basal and Smutrich has said the expansionist part of a quote, "satlement revolution to deepen Israel's grip on the territory."
PA's spokesman Omar Rijub told NPR that Israel auctioned off housing units in the first top of this year, and what he said are at least a dozen illegal settlements. This new construction will make a belt of illegal settlements that will be siege all of the areas north of Jerusalem. For NPR news, this is normally in Ramallah.
That was about the Israel land authority seeking bills to build an additional 627 apartment units to expand and Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank. The reporter was Newha Musla.
